Tim Steigerwald

engages in the local community, building relationships with clients, especially health care and higher education owners and community leaders. Contact Tim if you would like to talk to a proven construction leader.

We live and work in Indianapolis, providing better building experiences for clients like Eli Lilly, Clarian Health Partners, Midwest ISO, Ball State, GSA, The Children’s Museum, Wishard Health Services, Indiana University, Praxair, and Franklin United Methodist Community.

In addition to building complex commercial structures, we consider it vital to be a good corporate citizen. We regularly give our time, talent and treasure to organizations like the United Way of Central Indiana, Arts Council of Indianapolis, Indiana Rural Health Association and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Indianapolis.

Including minority and woman-owned businesses on our projects is also important to us. In 2009, 13.3% ($83 million) of Messer’s purchases went to certified minority- or woman-owned subcontractors and suppliers. In addition, Senior Vice President Tim Steigerwald serves on the Associated Builders & Contractors (ABC) National Diversity Committee and the Indiana Construction Roundtable (ICR) Diversity Initiative.

Awards

The Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) of Indiana has awarded Messer its "Award of Excellence" for multiple Indianapolis projects. Some of our award-winning projects include:

• The Children’s Museum Intermodal Facility Phase II
• Hollywood Casino
• Lawrenceburg Riverfront Development

In addition to our awarded projects above, in 2009 Messer received ABC’s “Excellence in Safety Program” award, Indiana Subcontractors Association’s (ISA) “General Contractor of the Year” award (voted on by Indiana subcontractors), and the Indiana Chapter - American Concrete Institute’s (ICACI) “Project of the Year” for the Indiana University Cyber Infrastructure Building Data Center project.

Spotlight

Messer presented the Boys and Girls Club of Indianapolis (BGCI) with a $25,000 Messer Foundation Grant. The grant will be used to provide materials, equipment, and labor to renovate the reception area and to replace the gym floor at the Lilly Club location. This will create a better environment and a better experience for the participants.

Messer has also given a $25,000 Messer Foundation Grant to Shepherd Community, an organization working to end the cycle of poverty on the near east side of downtown Indianapolis. The grant has helped expand technology opportunities for underprivileged students.

Messer donated $10,000 to The Boys and Girls Clubs of Indianapolis. CMiC, a project management software firm, gave Messer “First Place” in its annual Innovation Awards. The award included a $10,000 gift to the charity of Messer's choice.
